Pick of the day

Claire and Ahmed are lovers. She's a fair, freckled English rose; he's a dark-skinned Frenchman with Algerian and Muslim roots. He's the kind of guy the police love to stop and search.

Ahmed lives with his mum in Paris, but every few weeks Claire hops on the Eurostar and they spend a few days in a hotel, picking away at their long-distance relationship. "It's supposed to be romantic," he reminds her. She replies, "It's not. It's just painful." She tells him that she loves him - but quietly, in her own head, where only she can hear.

Then, one day, Ahmed turns up in London. He's left his job, and plans to stay with Claire while he looks for a new one. You can see how that works out in Déjà Vu (2.15pm, Radio 4). Alexis Zegerman's play, starring Caroline Catz and Karim Saleh, is a co-production with the French broadcaster ARTE, recorded on location in Paris and London. It's apparently the first bilingual play ever broadcast on Radio 4. Vous en avez rien à foutre? Moi non plus.
